  • I have 1l milk and 1kg flour. My recipe wants ⅜ liter milk and 150g flour. 375ml is a bit odd but trivial ultimately, and very easy to measure when I just pour 375g into my blender on a scale.Now how would imperial cups deal with 150g from 1kg?I also have 45g oil, what odd measurements would that give when you try to divide it up without a single decimal number?Try 24g suggar.

    I'd love to see all that converted to imperial.

  • This is a great second argument for using weight not volume for measurements.Measuring mass is of course not viable, but measuring weight in a consistent location means all the ratios end up correct. While ratios between volume and weight measured substances change (and flour probably compacts differently).That is why one should always use a scale to measure their fluids, and why metric is superior where 375ml of water or milk are 375g (convert the recipe ahead of time at a reference location), making this trivially easy.

    If you wish to then correct the total mass of your dish, you can simply compare the weight and volume of water to work out the mass to weight ratio and correct accordingly.

  • *500 000 quettabytes*Sextillion = 10^21 ( = Zetta)

    I'd recommend wikipedia here, your source seems to have taken 3 years to update their table and their image is still outdated.

    They likely didn't use quetta because it was only added 3 years ago, and is still not widely known. Or maybe it sounded better.

  • I figured it out. Typed the ln2 into my text and then forgot it in the calculator.Great, I'ma redo alll my numbers then rq

  • I fear their apartment is at -50°C and this is a cry for help.

    At least I am relieved to know that even acclaimed authors native to the cup-measurement system don't know what "a cup of flour is".

    I'll be off baking my pannenkoek with 150g of flour then.

  • Wouldn't this make the units temperature-dependent?

    Landauer limit is one kTln2 per bit of information, so at 300K about 3 zeptojoule per bit.Dividing by c² we get 32 micro-quectogram per bit, so 32 yoctogram per terabit. 256 yoctogram per terabyte.The Author wants half a septillion terabytes, 0.5•10²⁴ terabytes, half a yotta-terabyte.That makes 128 grams.

    Since I don't know what on earth "a cup of flour" is, I can't judge if the comic character proposes a reasonable conversion, but 0.1kg seems like a reasonable amount to use in cooking.

    For baking I would rather have my units temperature dependent than density dependent (I can compact my flour or work with water or nuts, all having different densities, but my room temperature will always be roughly 300).I endorse einstein-landauer units.

  • rna is a completely different molecule, with different properties and used differently by the cell.

    For one, rna is less stable than dna, it will fall appart quickly while for dna that process takes millennia.

    But more importantly various cell machinery will only accept dna or rna for their respective functions. The cell can put dna into a nucleus and still let rna move outwards to ribosomes for example.Ribosomes are built from rna and incompatible with dna, so there is an isolation ensuring dna can't get "executed" unintentionally. There are also a large range of gene regulation mechanisms along this extended chain.Since evolution kinda codes randomly with whatever it has, this duplicated mechanism of storage will be used all over the place. For example here you can give short double stranded rna a suppression effect while keeping short double stranded dna free for a different purpose (like maybe crispr).
